An Lin had a dream. He dreamed that he was walking through an endless world of snow and ice by himself. He only had a pair of boxers on, and the biting cold of the wind and snow turned him into a Da Bai 1
 .
It’s so cold…

Pain and agony shot through him as the bone-chilling cold lashed at his body.
The intense cold weighed down on him, and his steps became heavier and slower. Eventually, he was frozen into an ice statue.
A deathly cold slowly seeped into his sea of vital energy, causing it to congeal and freeze over. In the end, even his mind was about to freeze.


Everything became dull and hazy, and it was as though he was about to descend into eternal darkness.
Right at this moment, however, he suddenly saw a spark of light. This light wasn’t blinding. Rather, it appeared especially alluring.
A glowing female walked toward him.
Her appearance was stunning, and even her smile possessed a heart-warming power.

An Lin, are you cold?
Her concerned voice sounded beautiful and heavenly.
An Lin really wanted to reply that he was indeed cold. However, he couldn’t utter a single word.
He had already been frozen into an ice statue; how could he speak?
Huh? This scene is so familiar…

That time on Earth, the system turned him into an ice statue after he refused to give the Zombie Goddess his first kiss.
Isn’t this like that time?


He was frozen into a large ice statue and had lost the ability to speak.
Although he couldn’t speak at that time, Xu Xiaolan had persevered and stayed by his side for numerous nights. Moreover, she persisted in transferring her flame energy into the ice block. That had warmed his body and his heart.
This scene was reminiscent of the past. However, there were also some differences.
Because this time, Xu Xiaolan directly melted the ice that entrapped An Lin. Her actions were crude and direct.
Not only that, Xu Xiaolan even pulled him into a gentle embrace. Her body warmth warmed up his entire body.
This happiness had come too suddenly, and An Lin felt as though he was in a dream.

Sniff… Xiaolan, having you is so good. It’s so warm…

The warmth traveled throughout his entire body and made him feel comfortable and relaxed.
This was an indescribable kind of warmth. The bone-chilling cold had been completely expelled from his body.
…


In a cave located in some snowy mountain, a sleeping male was currently murmuring softly. He kept mumbling things such as
Celestial Maiden Xiaolan
and
so warm
.
He only awakened from his deep slumber after four hours.
Upon opening his eyes, An Lin was greeted by the sight of jagged and uneven rock walls.
It was especially silent in here, and he could clearly hear the whoosh of the gale and snow outside.

Huh? Xiaolan?

He didn’t see Xu Xiaolan’s figure, so he called out at her.
There was no reply.

Could it be that she went out to deal with something?
An Lin was a bit puzzled.
However, he suddenly realized that something was off.

No! I remember that I was severely wounded by Qing Li’s remaining power. How come I feel so energetic and full of vigor now? It’s almost as if I’ve recovered completely!



He hastily sat up and touched the spot where he had been wounded. A scab had already formed.
Something slid off his lap. There was also a piece of white paper.
An Lin was a bit dazed upon seeing the object.
Flame-Sealing Disc?

Didn’t I hand the Flame-Sealing Disc over to Xu Xiaolan? Why is it on me?

He picked up the Flame-Sealing Disc and the piece of white paper. On the piece of white paper, there was a note written in beautiful handwriting.

Take the Flame-Sealing Disc back to Vermilion Bird Sect. Cultivate earnestly and strive to improve. Forget about me.

An Lin’s hand started to tremble. His heart suddenly felt hollow and empty.
What does this mean? What on earth does this note mean?

Why does she want me to take the Flame-Sealing Disc back to the Vermilion Bird Sect? What about her?


Is she not returning?

Why is she telling me to forget about her?

After seeing the liquid stains on the piece of paper, a frightening thought spread into his mind.
He also started to become aware of the peculiarities inside his body. That abundant flame essence, that undying flame power fused into his bloodline… This was all very strange. Why did he possess these powers?

Xiaolan, what have you done? Where have you gone?

He was frightened and lost. It was as though a large hand was clenching his heart; it was as though he was about to face something extremely terrifying.
An Lin took out his voice transmission talisman and tried to contact Xu Xiaolan. However, he found that her aura had already been erased.
In other words, he had been blacklisted.

There’s got to be a way… There’s definitely some other method…

The rocks on the ground were crushed by An Lin’s vice-like grip. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
He suddenly raised his head. There was a slight glimmer in his eyes.
I’ve got it! I can use the Divine Simulation Technique!

This was a technique that he had received from the system after completing the mission which required him to defeat two enemies of the Return to Void Stage. He could draw upon the power of heaven and earth to deduce the truths of all matters according to the marks and traces left in the surrounding environment.
This kind of spell technique was heaven-defying. However, it was extremely taxing on one’s mind and couldn’t be used numerous times in quick succession.
It could be used a maximum of one time every month. Otherwise, it would damage one’s body or perhaps even consume their lifespan.
An Lin didn’t have a shred of hesitation. He immediately activated the Divine Simulation Technique!
Countless galaxies flashed across his eyes. Eventually, the realm that he was in flashed into his eyes.
In that instant, a colorless wave rippled out hundreds of kilometers.
A plethora of information flooded into his mind. From large-scale matters such as this heaven and earth’s climate and terrain to the minuscule matters such as the trajectory of every snowflake, current of all the airflow, and nature of every organism… everything regarding his surroundings became clear to him. An Lin started using this information to deduce the truth.
He discovered the traces of blood buried beneath the dirt of the cave—this blood didn’t belong to him. He discovered the traces of tears on the piece of white paper. He even discovered the new cells which had formed on his cut open and then healed wrist. He also identified what power was flowing through his body. This was the power of the Divine Phoenix Bloodline…
Qing Li’s frost poison, the power of the Divine Phoenix Bloodline, the crumbling on one’s Dao foundation…
The events that had transpired slowly became clearer in An Lin’s mind. His truth-deducing power allowed him to understand what had happened. He started shaking uncontrollably, and he felt as if someone had ripped his heart to shreds.

What did I do to deserve your sacrifice? I’m not worthy…

You’re so silly… Why are there girls as silly as you are?

An Lin gritted his teeth and clenched his jaws. There was a look of unwavering determination in his eyes.

Xiaolan, you’re trying to escape, aren’t you?

I’ll find you. No matter where you go, I’ll find you!

After finally wanting to pursue a Dao partner, isn’t it embarrassing for me if you dump me wordlessly?

An Lin took a deep breath and carefully put the Flame-Sealing Disc as well as the note away. Then, he walked out of the empty cave.
What greeted his sight was an endless stretch of white. Frigid gales howled past, and the entire heaven and earth were barren and bland.
The Divine Simulation Technique could deduce the truths of all matters. These matters naturally included the trails of Xu Xiaolan’s escape…
An Lin gazed into the distance toward where heaven and earth met. That was the direction to Wind Plain State, a state of the Nine States that bordered the Holy Glacial Lands. This was the direction that Xu Xiaolan had flown off into.
An Lin stepped onto his black brick and flew into the endless world of white.

Xu Xiaolan, you won’t be able to shake me off. Even if you’ve fled to the ends of the world, I’ll still find you!
